The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science Foundation (MMNSF) announced Wednesday that Susan Eskridge Frazier has been tabbed as its executive director.
Frazier enters the role with nearly three decades of nonprofit experience, including work with or for nonprofits in higher education, the arts, healthcare, and social services.
“Susan comes to us with an impressive track record in nonprofit leadership,” LoRose Moore, president of the MMNSF Board of Directors, said. “Susan’s vision and dedication align perfectly with our goals, and we are excited to have her at the helm.”
Fraizer has previously served on the boards of the Junior League of Jackson, the United States Pony Club Deep South Region, the Millsaps Alumni Association, and Stewpot Community Services, the latter including a term as board chair. The Tupelo native is also an active member of Galloway United Methodist Church in downtown Jackson.
“We are delighted to welcome Susan Frazier as the new Executive Director of the Foundation,” Mississippi Museum of Natural Science Director Angel Rohnke said. “Susan’s extensive experience and passion for our mission make her the perfect fit to lead the Foundation into an exciting future. We look forward to achieving great things together.”
Since 1977, the MMNSF has supported the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, which is the largest museum in the state.
